HelloNIce to see some of you at Adelaide, and the research is awesome.  We pyrosequence fungal endophytes (fungi occurring inside plant tissues) directly from the plant material, and analyse the resulting mini-barcodes.   Is there a method to see that in your run, you have completely saturated a lane, so there may be missing data in the output, or that all of your products are there? This is difficult because we are doing this for the first time, so there is no benchmark to compare…See More

Hi all I am about to go on an official barcoding trip in South Africa. Besides the small ascomycetes that is more my specialty, I will also collect some larger fungi.  THis trip has a public profile, so the larger fungi will be there for the people to better understand and to attract their attention.  Because I want to do it properly, are there any do's and dont's when I collect the larger fungi and preparing them for barcoding, e.g. how much tissue must I put in directly, I should probably dry…See More

Creating barcode reference records often begins with a collecting event in the field, but without the right techniques the specimen may never qualify as a high-quality barcode record. Come exchange information on field protocols!See More

Join this group to discuss efforts to barcode life in Madagascar.

Come share protocols and troubleshooting experiences, compare techniques, and discuss collaborative efforts.

Dear all,This group is intend to solve problems occurred while analyzing barcode sequences and using appropriate method of analysis.See More

To provide up-to-date information on fungal barcoding and to facilitate communication and the development of collaboration.

For all research groups active in barcode development and/or research in Europe and developing countries in Africa.
